Bristol had repeatedly been found to be the UK's best city to live in while at the same time surveys also keep showing it has the country's worst roads.

Our traffic-choked streets have put Bristol at the bottom of a league table of more than 30 urban centres across the UK. The city came bottom as a place to travel within and fourth-last as a city to travel from.

Bad road layout, constant roadworks and sheer volume have all contributed to the traffic problems

This time our shameful ranking comes from the Easy Travel Index survey, carried out by transport company ESP Group.

People in each city were asked a series of questions about their perception of how easy it was to travel around and from.

The results were scored out of 10, and for internal travel, Bristol came last in a table of 33 cities, with a tally of 5.31 out of 10. As a place to travel from, Bristol was fourth from the bottom, scoring 5.48.

The top city for travelling in was Edinburgh, with Salford in second place and Cardiff third. York topped the table for travelling from, followed by Salford and Sunderland.

According to residents asked in the survey, we have the worst traffic of any city

Dr Steve Cassidy, managing director of Viaqqio, which is part of ESP Group, said: "More work needs to be done to address common problems that can be easily resolved. As an industry, we are striving to ensure public transport is accessible and attractive to all those who want to use it.

“We will continue repeating this research on an annual basis and look forward to seeing how cities rise and fall over the next 12 months."
